South Park’s Twisted Christian Puts Peter Thiel in the Crosshairs
South Park lights the fuse with Twisted Christian, recruiting Peter Thiel and Donald Trump for a blasphemous mission to abort Satan’s baby — the Antichrist, at least in their minds.
South Park went straight for the third rail again, mashing up religion, politics, and tech paranoia. The latest episode ropes in Peter Thiel and Donald Trump to, uh, stop Satan from having a baby they think is the Antichrist. Yes, you read that right.
So what actually happens in 'Twisted Christian' (Season 27, Episode 6)?
- Peter Thiel shows up at South Park Elementary to give the kids a lesson on what he calls satanic numerology, after the students start goofing around with the numbers six and seven. He declares himself an expert on the Antichrist, which plays like a wink at his real-life doomsday talk.
- Thiel warns the world is ending in, conveniently, six to seven days. Then he cranks the town into a surveillance state, vacuuming up student data to sniff out supposed cult members.
- That includes cameras in very not-okay places, which even Jesus calls out.
'Wait, why is there a camera in the girls bathroom?'
- Meanwhile, Cartman hears '6 7' and immediately projectile vomits on cue. Thiel tries to exorcise him, in a scene that goes full The Exorcist homage.
- Over in the political lane, Donald Trump teams up with J.D. Vance to stop Satan from giving birth. Trump goes undercover as Ms. Coco Slutty Davidson (subtlety is dead) and hits Planned Parenthood to arrange an abortion for Satan. The doctor punts him to the local Antichrist specialist: Peter Thiel.
- As the paranoia ramps up, Thiel and Vance get jumpier by the minute, while Jesus starts to question his whole gig at South Park Elementary.
The episode is exactly the blend you think it is: biblical melodrama mixed with surveillance creepiness, culture-war politics, and a lot of bodily fluids. It is not subtle about data privacy or extremism, and it absolutely knows how absurd its own premise is.
